摘要

In polymer-based composites, new natural fibers will help create new reinforcing materials and possible fiber applications. In this work, the mechanical, chemical, morphological, and thermal properties of extracted Calamus guruba Buch.-Ham. Ex Mart. Plant fibers are examined. Tensile testing, chemical component analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were all used to extensively examine and analyse these features. Calamus guruba fibers (CGFs) appear to include a higher percentage of cellulose (43.6 ± 0.7wt%) than hemicellulose, lignin, pectin, and water-soluble extract, according to the results of the component analysis. 27.9 ± 0.8wt% lignin also supports the strength of the fiber. SEM images demonstrated the rough surface of the fiber, which enhanced the fiber-matrix interfacial adhesion in composites. It is 2.1 nm in dimension and has a crystalline index of 52.1%. The fiber has greater mechanical and thermal empowerment since its average tensile strength can reach 134.33 ± 12.66 MPa, and its thermal stability can reach 210 °C. The obtained properties suggest that the fiber may be considered as a potential reinforcement material for sustainable composite applications. Being a natural lignocellulosic fiber, it offers the advantage of biodegradability and reduced environmental impact compared to conventional synthetic fibers.
